Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
Unless there is a
leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear
For information on checking
brake disc/drum wear, contact
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
e ffectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be checked, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Wheels and tyres
The pressure must be checked on
all tyres, including the spare wheel,
when the tyres are "cold", at least
once a month and before a long
j o u r n ey. Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces
braking efficiency and control of the vehicle's
steering. Regular inspections of the condition
of tyres (tread and sides) and rims are
recommended as well as making sure that
valves are fitted.
Using different size wheels and tyres from
those specified can affect the lifetime of tyres,
wheel rotation, ground clearance and the
speedometer reading and have an adverse
effect on road holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
ETG gearbox
The ETG gearbox does not require
any maintenance (no oil change).
The pressures given on the tyre pressure label
are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven for
more than 10
minutes or more than 6 miles
(10
kilometres) at more than 31 mph (50 km/h),
0.3
bar (30 kPa) should be added to the values
given on the label.
Under-inflation increases fuel consumption.
Non-compliant tyre pressure causes premature
wear on tyres and has an adverse effect on the
vehicle's road holding – Risk of an accident!

Practical information

Temporary puncture
repair kit
Scan the QR code on page 3 to view
e xplanatory videos.
Comprising a
compressor and a sealant
cartridge, it allows the temporary repair of
a

tyre so that you can drive to the nearest
garage.
It is designed to repair most punctures which
could affect the tyre, located on the tyre tread
or shoulder.
Access to the kit
This kit is installed in the storage box, under
the boot floor. The vehicle's electric system allows the
connection of the compressor for long
enough to inflate a
tyre after a puncture
repair.
Composition of the kit
1. 12 V compressor, with integral pressure
gauge.
2. Sealant cartridge, with integral hose.
3. Speed limit sticker.
Repair procedure
F Park the vehicle without obstructing any
traffic and apply the parking brake.
F

F
ollow the safety instructions (hazard
warning lamps, warning triangle, wearing
high visibility vest, etc.) according to the
legislation in force in the country where you
are driving.
F

S
witch off the ignition. F

U
ncoil the pipe stowed under the
compressor.
Avoid removing any foreign bodies which
have penetrated into the tyre.
F
C

The speed limit sticker must be secured
to the interior of the vehicle in the driver's
field of vision, to remind you that a
wheel
is in temporary use.
The tyre inflation pressures are given on
this label.
F

S

the vehicle's 12 V socket.F
S tart the compressor by turning the switch
to the " l" position until the pressure of the
tyre reaches 2.0
bars. The sealant product
is injected under pressure into the tyre;
do not disconnect the pipe from the valve
during this operation (risk of blowback).

106
Take care, the sealant product is harmful
if swallowed and causes irritation to the
eyes.
Keep this product out of the reach of
children.
The use-by date of the fluid is marked on
the bottle.
After use, do not discard the bottle in
standard waste, take it to a PEUGEOT
dealer or an authorised waste disposal
site.
Do not forget to obtain a
new bottle of
sealant, available from a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop. Do not exceed the speed of 50
mph
(80 km/h) when driving with a tyre repaired
using this type of kit.
Checking/adjusting tyre
pressures
You can also use the compressor,
without injecting sealant, to check and, if
necessary, adjust the tyre pressures

a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to change the tyre.
Tyre under-inflation detection After a tyre repair, the warning
lamp will remain on until the
system is reset.
For more information on Tyre under-
inflation detection , refer to the
corresponding section.
Should the pressure of one or more tyres
be adjusted, it is necessary to reinitialise
the under-inflation detection system.
For more information on Tyre under-
inflation detection , refer to the
corresponding section.

ground is slippery or loose, the jack may
slip or collapse – risk of injury!
Ensure that the jack is positioned only
at one of jacking points A or B under the
vehicle, making sure that the vehicle's
contact sur face is centred on the head of
the jack. Otherwise, the vehicle could be
damaged and/or the jack could collapse –

Refitting the wheel
The jack must only be used to change a wheel
w ith a damaged or punctured tyre.
The jack does not require any maintenance.
The jack meets European standards, as defined
in the Machinery Directive 2006/42/CE.
Certain parts of the jack such as the screw
thread or the joints could cause injury:
avoid touching them.
Carefully remove all traces of lubrication
grease.

Fitting a
steel or "
space-saver " spare
wheel
If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels,
when tightening the bolts on fitting it is
normal to notice that the washers do not
come into contact with the steel or "space-
saver" spare wheel. The wheel is secured
by the conical contact of each bolt.
